According to the article the perps abandoned their own vehicle after fatally shooting officer Pitt and then fled the scene in his police cruiser. I wonder why investigators weren't able to tie the abandoned car to anyone? It doesn't say that car was a stolen vehicle...

Unfortunately, even after surgeries and blood donations, Constable Pitt died in hospital. This photo shows him, hospital staff and his family. One of his sons later committed suicide at the age of 17.

A good man doing his job and sadly, the criminals were never found.

Someone ALWAYS knows .....

The murder of Const. Ronald Pitt, shot to death in 1957, also remains unsolved.

HUNTER: Cops killings rarely go cold. OPP undercover’s ’84 murder did
''There have been three cops murdered in Ontario over the last 100 years whose cases have gone cold.

The clearance rate for murdered cops tends to be spectacular even if the result in the courts and prison system is not.

Neither was the case for Const. Ronald Pitt, 33, of the Morrisburg Police Dept., in eastern Ontario.

On Sept. 23, 1957, the rookie cop died in a Montreal hospital after being shot three times while working the overnight shift. Pitt saw two men trying to boost a car and gave chase.''

''In the darkness, he was hit by three bullets from the thugs’ guns: the chest, the spine and a finger.

No one has ever been charged and the murder weapon was never recovered. The killer’s lone fingerprint in Pitt’s police cruiser is all that’s left to tell the tale.

More recently, a snitch came forward pointing a finger at the man long suspected of being the Scottish immigrant’s killer. There have been no charges.''

Bumping for Constable Pitt - it's now been over 66 years.
